Well Played, Charlene of Monaco

No sooner did we theorize that Princess Charlene is addicted to neutrals, than she popped out of her principality in something else:

It’s pretty. Chocolatey. Fluttery. A flightless bird trying nonetheless to take wing, which is sadly allegorical to her wedding day situation. That in and of itself would be sort of brilliant if she did it on purpose, but also, she looks lovely in it — maybe it needs more dramatic makeup, but overall I think the lovely lady is doing a bang-up job taking her life lemons and turning them into some kind of tangy fermented hooch.

Now see, if I had shoulders and razor-sharp collarbones like that, I’d display ‘em au naturel as much as possible. In fact, she should war strapless gowns as often as she can — they’re divine on her! (Just a *smidge* deeper with the lip color and the look would be A+++!)

She looks fantastic. But I wish she didn’t have the shrug/shawl thing too…it’s just too much fabric. And I wish it was a little more of a purple. Like the hair, like the earings, her shoulders are crazy amazing. Best of all, she doesn’t have an expression that will make me sad all day.

I dunno, I think the brown is warm, rich, a teensy bit coppery looking, and i do like the sort of “raining on prom night” tattered feel.
a wee bit bolder in the make-up dept and it would be glorious, but it is quite nice as is.

She probably read you. That’s because she fanatically reads everything about herself on the Internet and she knows about GFY from the Red Forum/Royal Opinions. Her reading list expanded a lot by going on there. She had nothing else to do for 10 years while she was a kept woman in Monaco before getting married. She’s actually a cyber bully if you ask the forum girls.

I think her only way to get out of the “sad princess” look is to turn into something definitely more dramatic, in a Joan Collins kind of way. C’mon Charlene ! Fuchsia lisptick, a bright purple dress and big gold jewelry ! and DO SOMETHING FOR YOUR HAIR !
